150+ Miles, 3 Days on a MicroSkiff - Florida's Playground
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2020
- Adventures don't have to go as planned to still be an adventure. This long distance 3-day trip on my micro skiff was proof of that. From Panama City Beach Florida to Destin, Florida and back is more than 150 miles of adventure! Plenty to be had!

"You gotta do, with whatever you got" . More people should take this quote to heart! Blessings!
That's right!
Heck yeah Trip!!! Just finished restoring my canoe. Gonna do a mission soon thanks for the inspiration!!! Much love from Massachusetts.
Oh cool! Hope it all goes well!
Amazing Video!! Love the skiff, am excited for your adventures to come!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm excited about them too!
A bit of fishing and this channel would really blow up.
I agree... I need to fish. Hopefully my new boat gets me to do it lol
Freaking Awesome Dude!. I like your laid back relaxed style. Totally love the outdoors.
Lol Glad you enjoyed it Stanton! More to come....
Wife's, been trying to talk me into moving to Florida and I said no way, too flat. But after watching your Video, I said as long as I can be near the water and have a skiff, I do like to snorkel and fish. Thanks, Great video, looks like fun!
DO it move here. WE HAVE the BEST FISHING Hands down. Both salt and Fresh water. We have springs, we have lakes. THe guld is amazing to fish. FLats backcountry , we see manatee and dolphins, sting rays, We Take our travel trailer and boat out to the state parks and Fish camps around the springs. I love FL and will never leave.
Awesome adventure mate. You got some pretty cool places over there. Great stuff 👍💪
Glad you enjoyed it! Yea, I'm lucky for sure.
Keep her clean trip! Excited for this one.
🥳
Will do brother!
This video was interesting and relaxing at the same time, pretty good
Perfect! Thank you!
Dude, I really liked your video. Please keep posting, really good to see some of the area I live in from a different perspective. Never thought I would see someone take the challenge of going from PC to Destin in a Skiff. You took the limits off of your mind and explored the challenge! Awesome vid.
Thanks WD! I've got a few more similar videos to this one and more to come. I have some bigger plans for skiff trips. PC to Port St Joe or Appalach and back is coming in the near future ;)
I love seeing you out here in our back yard! Great work as always!
Haha thanks Jason!
Thanks for taking us along on the adventure. You always are testing the limits of these small boats! Lol
Thanks for joining me! Testing both mine and the boat's limits ;)
Hey Trip! Love your videos! Thanks for giving my husband and me places on places to go!
Thanks Chirs! Yall are welcome. Hope yall enjoy some adventures together!
Awsome adventure! Thank u for sharing and sick skiff!
Glad you enjoyed it Justin!
An hour went by faster than I thought an hour would go by. I am hooked. So happy UA-cam said to watch your video!
Hey that's great to hear. Lots of good adventures to catch up on before the next one ;)
Looks like a amazing trip man. Great video.
It sure was! Glad you enjoyed it ;)
Excellent journey. Love the new microskiff. I started down that route but ended up with an older Maverick Center Console. I would suggest just embracing the intercoastal waterway. Even with my boat it's just better on the inside.
The one nice thing is that up in the panhandle there's a lot of great fishing that's close to shore. Here in Tampa Bay area you got to go forever to get offshore fishing. Luckily inside the Bay there's some good bottom fishing, but the skiffs aren't the funnest hull when boating in washing machine conditions.
Thanks for another great episode!
Thanks Bill! Yea I know it's better on the ICW but it's more exciting in the gulf ;) Yea, I hope to get something a little more setup to hide fishing tackle as this boat just doesn't have good storage for it. Then I can start fishing more. You're welcome!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and experience
Hey glad to hear that ;)
I'm going to have to get me some of that Lectric Shave and try it now. Thanks for the tip!
Oh for sure! I need them as a sponsor!
just found your channel and i cant quit watching them, God Bless You from Missouri!!
Hey awesome Steve! Enjoy!
Definitely a pleasure to call Panama City my home. It's a beautiful place
Oh yea, it absolutely is!
Hi Trip!!! Grate adventure, grate boat.
God blees you.
Thankya! It was a good one!
Another great video Trip. Prefect viewing for a Sunday night. That was some hard core sleeping arrangements. Always an adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it Scott! Always an adventure for sure.....
i know I am quite off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
@Yusuf Raymond Flixportal :P
@Duncan Archer Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !!
@Yusuf Raymond you are welcome =)
Darn I miss that beautiful water 😫....maybe next year...great video trip
Glad you enjoyed it! Get Out There!
I also stay in the Motel Skiff when I hit the coast. I use a tent cot & blow up mattress in my 17’ skiff. I also get a few laughs in the morning but am usually packed up not long after sunrise. Fun times!
Heck yea! It's a sand free campsite on the water at the beach.... It don't matter who laughs lol
Woot woot PCB!!! Great vid!
Yea buddy!
Boshamps is the best, the Snapper Destin is to die for. Thanks for the vid!
Boshamps..... yes sir! You're welcome!
Awesome. I live about an hour up the road from Destin. We hit crab island and shell island all the time! love the content.
Nice area! Thanks!
I got that same experience with the soloskiff on the bay, it looked like little waves on vid but it was swamp the boat size stuff. I’m happy you opening it up out there on the icw, woohoo
Yea man crazy for the camera does that.... Still made it happen!
Amazing content! Keep up you awesome video adventures
Thanks Ricardo!!!! Will do!
Great trip, Trip!
Thanks Traya glad you enjoyed it!
We live in north Florida right next to the itchitucknee river. Just got a few of the Bote lono aero kayaks and you are welcome to borrow one for a trip. We took them to crystal river, they are awesome. Our first comment was that we'd love to see one of your trips in one. Plus you can get a good night's rest sleeping in the bottom of them 😂. Awesome video Trip, thanks.
Oh wow, yall live in a SWEET spot!!!! How cool! Thanks for the offer ;) I'm actually thinking of hitting the Withlacoochee here soon. They would be perfect to sleep in wouldn't they! Now the wheels are spinning.....
Nice video Trip, love Crab Island!
Glad you enjoyed it Doug! It's a nice spot......
What a cool video. Really enjoyed watching it. Florida is such a cool place
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, Florida is awesome!
“But I’m happy” you me friend, are winning!
Yea buddy!
Glad you remembered the lectric shave! One of my favorites.
Yea buddy!!!!!
Explain?
48:30 Bro went from its a beautiful morning many artist to Mannie Fresh and Baby Get yo ROLL on!! TRIP MY MAN IS VERSATILE!! lol Love the TRIPS!!
Haha! Got to just make it happen and make the best of it. Glad you enjoy them Aaron!
Love this!
Hey thanks Dana!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Trip ✌️
Hey thanks Pia!!!!!!
I was in pcb just a day or two before this! Nothing better than being outside in that water. Also took a trip to econfina but most was closed off
Oh cool! Nothing better.... Maybe you can hit Econfina another time.
I’ve been to St Andrews SP just across from Shell Island at least once a year, sometimes twice, for the last 25+ years. That area is like my second home. I’ll be there next weekend with my new travel kayak.
Awesome! Yea it's a great area!
Cool video! I LOVE exploring on the water. I was planning to explore the Destin area this spring but couldn't due to everything being shut down. I might do it later this summer or fall. Would be cool to say "Hi" if you're on the water.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully you can get down there for some fun. Oh yea, would be very cool!
Love this guy's attitude! I Liked and subscribed now.
Hey thanks for subscribing Joey I'm really glad you enjoyed the videos
Man your living my dream thanks for sharing
I try to! Glad you enjoyed it!
I was laughing and there was a philosophy. This is great A1 content!
Thanks Tayloy! Glad you enjoyed it!
someone needs to take you fishing! idk if you eat fish but imagine eating some fresh fish you just caught out on the beach or on your boat. and its thrilling.. nothing like the way you feel when you hook up on a fish even small ones lol. i finished the rest of the video today.. defiantly inspiring me to go out and camp on my boat. peace!
Go do it! Oh I LOVE to eat fish lol I just don't take the time to catch em...... silly me
Cool video looked like a fun adventure.
Oh yea definitely a good one!
Just came across this video. Watched every minute. Great content. Liked and Subscribed
Awesome, thank you! Should have a similar one but better Sunday ;)
Great video. Makes me regret getting rid of my sons Gheenoe. Im now itching to get something else so the kids and i can do a trip like this. Im in the Tampa Bay/Clearwater area.
Glad you enjoyed it Wade! Yea man, the kid's will never forget an adventure like that!
Love your videos keep up the good work
Hey thanks Brady! Will do!
This is another super awesome vid man!!! I dislike those beetles so much!!!! the minute you turn the lights, they flood in in a massive invasion... lol
So happy to hear you enjoyed it! Yea man, those bugs were wearing me out.....
I got mass respect for how you do you.
Lol thanks! Just having a good time....
Great video!
Thanks Scott!
Trip looking mad buff with dem gains bro
Aw heck, just working brother ;)
Just found you and watched about 10 min then liked and sub love the content
Awesome Austin. Thanks for subscribing!
I would bet you could get a ridgerunner bridge hammok with its rain fly tied up on that boat. You could use a pole on the back supported by the platform and fab up a way for a pole to go through a small hole on the front deck and secured with aline going to the front ring. The hammok is made by Warbonnet, comes with a built in bug net (a true lifesaver) and you can get a rainfly that works konda like a bivvy sack for it, or make your own hammok tarp like I did. I went up the AT a few years ago with one and have loved it ever since. Haven't slept on anything hard outdoor since. Awesome trip and just subscribed.
Yea, the center grab bar/console kinda messes that up.... Might be getting a different boat with a better layout for a hammock hang ;) Hey thanks for subscribing!!!!
Finally found a channel with someone who loves getting wet as much as my daughter and I. We are up to our chin in water, off and and on all day when camping boating!
Oh yea, I love being in the water. That's kinda the whole point for me lol
If this guys doesn’t remind you of a war movie soldier with a good since of humor idk what does. Keep em coming!
Haha thanks!
I love that boat im gonna look into getting one
Do it! If ya don't find one I'll be selling mine in a few months....
@@TripSmith
How much amigo?
You passed me by the shell island jetties that afternoon. I tried giving you a thumbs up but you seemed confused.... I was in the 26 Carolina skiff with the massive top🤙🏽
Hmmmmmm, I don't recall it right now... But that's a big Carolina! Hate I missed ya, run me down next time.
Love to see it
Q
Trip! Awesome video!!! Can’t wait to “get out there” soon!!! Also, I think you might have set a trip dip count record in this video. And “that was a neat-o stone crab” - comment from my wife
Glad you both enjoyed it Jon! Might have been a record.... I'll have to break it next time ;)
Just found your channel man, epic adventures being had! Got a sub from me for sure! Need to work on that dad bod though, lol...
Glad you found it and enjoy it! Thanks for subbing. Yea.... I'm struggling to get to the dad bod status.....
Trip I am a huge Astros fan, albeit originally from Birmingham. The American League Championship Series is on tonight and I chose to put it on mute and view this one again because it is one of my favorites if not my favorite episode. I know Navarre Fort Walton and Destin / Destin Harbor like the back of my hand.
Haha I hear ya Larry! So glad you enjoy it so much. That was a GREAT TRIP! Seriously loved this one....
This reminds me of the day we paddled out to Shell Island with Dale. Such a relaxing place to just chill. Just came home from riding out past crab Island on a friends center console. May have to bet serious about getting something with a motor?
Oh cool! Yea, nice spot.... The motor opens up a lot of options Travis.
Keys 🔑 left in the pocket suck! Great trip though! Thanks TOutdoors!
Yea man.... I've had that happen to me before lol Glad you enjoyed it Trey!
Awesome video dude
Thankya!
im getting that boat!
Come get it, she is for sale. Tripsmith.live/contact
Nice Boat Mate👍
Thank you sir!
Great video
Thanks Randy!
u make my home town look good brotha ! shoutout destin fl
Awesome! It's a cool spot.
Trip, have you thought about getting a drone to give us some nice aerial videos? I was in Destin in 2010 and 2015 was so beautiful. The water even in March there was an incredible blue and clear color.
Oh yea I certainly have. Just haven't pulled the trigger ;)
I live in pcb I did a trip from 79 at west bay bridge to Destin bay. Did the same off stealfield on the sister river took to the choctawhatchee to Destin bay
Nice! Fun stuff!
U got yourself a new subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻
Welcome aboard!
The shallow water anchor is not only cheap it`s also lite . You must have a very understanding wife . Really enjoyed the tag-a-lone
Cheap, light and easy to stow ;) She does pretty well lol
dude im a local in panama city and go in the water every weekend and i have dove shell island 100 times and rarely see that hope you had a nice trip nice boat bud don’t get cought i’n rough water
Yea it was nice. I've had a few better days than that at Shell Island but not many. One was AMAZING with incredible visibility.... Never forget that day. Yea, I was trying to be smart.....
I was wondering if you could go back down the suwannee river again and give a little more in depth of what gear u were using what u broght and didint use all that stuff also some fishing would be cool 😎
I might be going down a river over near the Suwanee soon ;) Will go over some gear for ya ;)
God Bless Trip
You too Alan!
Shout out from Mississippi!!
Howdy Tim!
Your video was tremendous!
you had the finest water craft in the vid
Haha Thanks!
I saw you going down the beach in Destin when I was there
Oh really! You should have flagged me down!
You have to get a Mantus anchor. It will help you sleep well at night on the boat. Wow do they work well.
I like that style, I had a Rocna on my old sailboat and loved it. They make them in poly versions over in Australia that I'd like to get.....
Adventures are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get 👍
You're dang right! lol
You're out doing everything I wish I was doing right now. I've got to get my kayak back in the water. I see you're not far from my neck of the woods. Any outings near Panacea?
Hey make it happen! Haven't been to Panacea yet.... Is the water murky over there?
@@TripSmith
Beautiful place
So glad I found your channel I am from the panhandle area too would love to meet up and do some traveling together when I get back from deployment
Hey Shane! Glad you found the videos! Hope you come home safe bud. COme join in at RockaDock ;)
Cool channel , subbed 👍🏻🎣
Hey thanks!!!!
What's the length of your skiff and tell me about that tiller extension? Did you make it or buy it?
She is 14.5' and that's a carbon marine tiller handle ;)
wow man what a awesome video. i love the idea of going out on a boat and camping for a couple days. good editing man definitely quality. i got a 14 foot jon boat and it porpoises somtimes too if the weight isnt more up front. also the fuel consumption on these 2 strokes is pretty good. maybe the weight ratio made the boat plain or plane? differently increasing speed. anyways man love the boat great video
Haha glad you enjoyed it! Yea it had to have been the weight distribution ;) Take that jon boat camping!
A couple of screw on loops, per side, and 2 old tent poles would make putting a tarp up much easier. Think covered wagon style
My mind has been coming up with a few different ways to rig something.... Might do some experimenting ;)
I wander if trip would like a craigcat, cause of the shallow draft and lots of space
I would definitely like to try one. One thing I know I'd miss is the dry and safe storage on the skiffs.... Other than that I think I'd LOVE it.
Next time I'm at DQ, I'm going to order a 'Trip Dip.'.
Now we are talking! Hey Paul! It was great to meet you ;)
You should get a group together and do that trip. Tiller only! Count me in merc 40 tiller
Haha! That probably would be a really good time......
How fast does that boat go and what hp do you have on it
She runs 30-32mph according to my gps. It's a 25hp 2 stroke ;)
Not sure if you mentioned and I missed it , what size is that motor?
25ho 2 stroke
Nice boat, just what I'm looking for... who makes it??
That's an IPB 14 (now Skimmer Skiff). I like her, but will be selling her in a few months....
Hi trip I’m your biggest fan ever
Oh wow! It's so nice to hear from you! Thanks for being a fan ;)
Your welcome Wow it’s so cool to be talking to you
Is that a full grab rail in the skiff or did you cut the bottom off and mount it in your console? Building my own skiff and would love a response. Thank you!
It's just a short one I purchased online and mounted it to the top of the console. Here ya go - www.marinefiberglassdirect.com/collections/hand-rails-grab-bars/products/marine-dock-boat-12-hand-rail-grab-bar
Trip Smith thank you!
Hey where did you get your tiller handle from????
It came with the boat ;) But it's made by Carbon Marine.
Did you feel like your boat was going to ever tip with the wakes from larger boats?
I wouldn't say I felt like it would tip but there are times when I feel like I could get swamped and filled with water
How do you keep your eyes open in sea water? I can’t seem to find the guts to do it 😂
Have you ever thought about making the trip to Bimini on your microskiff?
You dang right I have!!!! Don't think I'd do it in this one. But my next one might be a different story.... We shall see!
